steering stabilizer question

Hey guys,, I haven't been on in a while but I have another question. 2005 F250 power stroke. When I got the truck, I believe it had a leveling kit on it,, it had a 2.5" spacer on top of the front coils and a small block in the rear. Later I had it raised maybe 5 -6 " by a professional shop with longer coils and again a bigger block in rear. Now, this time they took my bigger spacer out the top of the coil and used a newer maybe 1". so after they told me they could go no higher with my truck I decided to do it myself. I took the 1" spacer out and installed the 2.5" back in and again a bigger block. All is well now with my 8-9" lift except with certain bumps the front will shake, or I should say "shimmy". i suppose it cause I don't have any steering stabilizers installed. So the question is, what type do you guys like and where do I get them. The shop I used didn't install any in the beginning. Maybe it wasnt' lifted enough or they just didn't do it,, thanks for your help. hope to hear back from you,, Herb.

Well you are way past the tolerances of the stock stabilizer. With that height and tire size you are going to have to get a dual stab. Im running a rough country dual and im a fan of it.
